Comments on: Another “Meddling” Mother-in law http://www.momresponds.com/116/meddling-mother-in-law/ Luise Addresses Your Interests With Wisdom and Love Thu, 04 Dec 2008 05:03:02 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: Jody http://www.momresponds.com/116/meddling-mother-in-law/#comment-3928 Jody Thu, 04 Oct 2007 17:13:02 +0000 http://www.momresponds.com/?p=116#comment-3928 Dear Whoa: The mother in law DOES lack tack and EVERYONE, daughters in law included, deserves respect especially in their own home. Would you let your daughter in law come into your home and order you around? Didn't think so. Just because your an elder doesn't mean you get to order people around. There is nothing worse than an overbearing, meddlesome mother in law. I wonder what the statistic is on divorces caused by miserable mother in laws? Interesting. Dear Whoa:

I always say that they aren't paying their part of the rent! Blessings, Luise Dear Vavoom: That reminds me of what I say when someone tells me I shouldn’t kill a fly or a spider in my house!

He's on worm prevention so whatever. Whenever anyone tells me how to do things in my home, I always ask them: "You paying the mortgage this month?" The answer is always No. To which I respond, then please STFU. My family included. Sorry but I let my pet lick the plates. He’s on worm prevention so whatever.

Your kindness may go unnoticed by your daughter-in-law but it can't be unrewarded where your continued contact with your son and grandchildren is concerned. I, too, have someone in my family like that and I have made the same choices. Some relationships remain forever a mystery to me but your're right, if the one you love is happy, that's what matters most. Blessings, Luise Well, Maria…bless your heart.

My daughter in law has not cooked one meal for me or made a cup of coffee for my husband and I in all of the five years they have been married. I have cleaned her apartment, helped move them from one place to another, been there financially, emotionally, physically for wedding, grandchildren birth and new home. She is cold, and rude and I have to live with it. My son is happy and that is what counts even though I feel gypped on the daughter in law front. Wait a minute….I am a mother in law.

I can't help but wonder what in the world daughters in law of today think they are doing. the ones I know demand their mothers in law's respect without earning it and want to be the ram rod in their husband's family yet they whine and complain if anyone especially their mother in law should "have the audacity" to speak up to them. again the ones I know seem very immature and temperamental. I agree with brenda. the only thing i disagree with in your advice is that the mother in law lacks tact. she was in her son's home and felt comfortable enough to make the comment. daughter in law is being too temperamental in this situation. what ever happened to extending a little grace to your elders? maybe thats what lacking in society today. whoa! luise you hit the nail on the head with the advice to the daughter in law about her disgusting “custom”.

It is soooo refreshing to read something on the web that puts an idiot daughter-in-law in her place. Not all DILS are idiots. Just the ones who refuse to see reality because they would rather win than to protect their own children's health. Sad, sad, sad. And these are the gals raising the next generation? Hmmmm.

The family proceeds as usual and the mother-in-law doesn't have to adapt to a practice she finds unacceptable. (However, once a person thinks about it...yuck! Worms?) That’s a great idea!

Maybe she could eat on paper plates for the summer. Ha. I just wanted to say that I think her mother in law is treading in territory that is none of her business.
